Trello Card Creator Script

Effortlessly create Trello cards from a Word document.

---

Overview

The Trello Card Creator Script allows you to batch-create multiple Trello cards directly from a Microsoft Word document (.docx). If you manage tasks or projects in Word and want to transfer them to Trello, this script automates the process, saving you time and effort.

Pro Tip: If your Word document needs to follow a specific format, consider using a Generative AI like ChatGPT or Claude AI to help reformat your text according to the script's requirements.
